Nurturing All Young Children's Language and Literacy Skills
Discover innovative ways to support the many aspects of children's
language and literacy development--oral language, reading, and writing.
The articles in this collection emphasize meeting children's unique
needs, supporting dual language learners, and partnering with families
to support children's development. Specific topics include how teachers
can:
- Increase children's vocabulary through conversations and storybook
reading
- Communicate with infants who have developmental delays
- Promote preschoolers' fine motor development to prepare them for
writing
- Incorporate poetry and nonfiction into primary classrooms
Included is a professional development guide with questions and
activities to help readers reflect on current teaching practices and
inspire them to incorporate new ones.
